Gibson "Wins" Against Dean

Post by Watson503 »

All of that money spent on lawyers and such, all to win $4,000...hahahaha

DEAN GUILTY OF TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT AND COUNTERFEITING IN GIBSON FLYING V CASE

The CEO of Armadillo, Dean’s parent company, Evan Rubinson, said in a statement: “We are thrilled that a Texas jury has vindicated Armadillo in ruling for Armadillo on its defense to Gibson’s trademark claims on our Dean V guitar, Dean Z guitar, and Evo headstock.

“The jury found that Armadillo is not liable to Gibson for our long use of those guitars and headstock. The jury issued a judgment in the amount of $4,000, a mere fraction of the $7 million plus originally sought by Gibson.”

Why weren't they sued 40 plus years ago..... I guess the judge only awarded them $4,000.00 so their case must have been pretty weak.

So what... now Dean can't make V's or Z's any more what was the point of the suit???
